1 I've already done the new modular upgrade on several machines and they
2 all worked perfectly, except my main multi video card machine. I have
3 some older S3 Virge PCI video cards that aren't playing nice with the
4 new xorg.
5
6 In VIDEO_CARDS I have nvidia and s3virge, and the proper drivers are
7 being compiled and are in the correct locations. The nvidia drivers load
8 fine, but when the S3Virge is attempted, the screen goes black and I
9 can't recover without a hard reset. Here is last bit of the log:
10

48 That's where it stops. I've ssh-ed in and tried to kill X (which is
49 using 100% CPU) but I can never recover without a reset.

51 Any ideas?
